Buyer's guide
The best soccer livestreaming options for clubs in 2026
The simplest way for a youth club to livestream soccer is a camera that already films your games and streams at no extra cost. Trace livestreaming is included with the camera (in beta), viewers watch free by link, and goals reach phones as clips.
Hudl includes streaming in club plans and lets you charge viewers. XbotGo streams free to YouTube. Veo Live is an add-on from $240 a year. Spiideo suits venues that sell streams.

Why Trace streaming is different
Livestreaming
Stream from the same camera
Included at no extra cost. A fixed, wide view of the field from the Trace camera. Viewers watch free by link. In beta.
Live moments
Goals land on your phone mid-game
Can't watch the whole game? Live Updates send goal clips, photos and text to phones during the game, for soccer and basketball.
After the whistle

What do you need to livestream a youth soccer game?
A camera high at midfield
With Trace, that's the 16 ft tripod you already record with.
A hotspot at the camera
Plan on about 700 MB an hour at Trace's top setting.
A full charge
Streaming a 90-minute game uses about 50% more battery. Charge overnight.
A link for families
Drop it in the team chat before kickoff. Viewers watch free.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to livestream youth soccer games?
Use a camera that already records your games and streams at no extra cost. Trace livestreaming is included with the Trace camera (in beta), and viewers watch free by link. Hudl and XbotGo also include streaming.
How much does it cost to livestream a youth soccer game?
From free (Trace, XbotGo) to add-ons like Veo Live at $240 a year and up. Hudl includes streaming in club plans from $500 per team per year. You also need a data plan or hotspot.
Is Veo livestreaming free?
No. Veo Live is a paid add-on from $240 a year and needs a Veo Cam 3.
Can families get goal alerts without watching the stream?
With Trace, yes. Live Updates send goal clips, photos and text to phones during the game, while the stream is on.
Do I need a hotspot to livestream soccer?
Usually. Most fields have weak Wi-Fi. Trace recommends a hotspot left at the camera. A second phone works but is less reliable.
Can a club charge for livestreams?
Yes, on Hudl TV and Spiideo, where the organization sets viewer prices. Trace and XbotGo streams are free to watch.
